For Immediate Release
April 1, 1994
EastWest recording artist Dream Theater will begin recording the follow-up to their much acclaimed Images & Words album on May 1st at One On One studios in Los Angeles. The as yet untitled album will be produced by Duane Baron and John Purdell, whose past studio credits include Ozzy Osbourne’s No More Tears and Heart’s Desire Walks On.
The New York based quintet – vocalist James LaBrie, keyboardist Kevin Moore, bassist John Myung, guitarist John Petrucci, and drummer Mike Portnoy – has written over 10 new tracks for the album, some of which were performed during the band’s past world tour. Being firm believers in value for money, they plan to record over 60 minutes of music. A September release is expected to be followed by a world tour.
Never ones to follow musical trends, Dream Theater continue their progressive hard rock style coupled with true musicianship, a trademark which has gained the band respect and admiration from fans and musicians alike. Images & Words is nearing platinum status in Japan and is steadily approaching gold in America. The first single, “Pull Me Under”, topped the Most Requested chart for album rock radio for 4 weeks and remained in active rotation at MTV for several months. Their Live At The Marquee EP (released only in Japan and Europe) and video Images & Words: Live In Tokyo are showing strong sales worldwide.
